倒装句的作用与用法

倒装(Inversion)是一种语法手段,用以表示一定句子结构的需要和强调某一句子成分的需要。英语的最基本结构是主、谓结构,倒装就是将这种比较固定的结构加以颠倒。

倒装有两种:将主语和谓语完全颠倒过来,叫做完全倒装(Complete Inversion)。如:In came a man with a

white beard.

只将助动词(包括情态动词)移至主语之前,叫做部分倒装(Partial Inversion)。如:Only once was John late to

class.

I. 完全倒装

1. 用于 there be 句型。

例如： There are some students in the classroom.

教室里有几位学生。

There is a tall tree in front of the classroom.

教室的前面有一棵大树。

2. 用于“ here （ there， now， then ）＋不及物动词＋主语”的句型中，或以 in，away 等副词开头的句子里，以表示强调。

例如： Here comes the bus. 汽车来了。

There goes the bell. 铃响了。

Now comes your turn. 现在轮到你了。

Out went the children. 孩子们出去了。

注意：

（ 1 ）主语是代词时，主语和谓语不倒装。

（ 2 ） here ， there 放在句首通常用一般现在时。

Here it is. 给你。（你要的东西在这儿。）

Here he comes. 他来了。

3. 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组时，也常将其全部倒装。

例如： South of the city lies a big steel factory.

out， up，down， 城市南边有一家大型钢厂。

From the valley came a frightening sound.

从山谷里传来了可怕的声音。

4. 表语置于句首时，倒装结构为“表语＋连系动词＋主语”：

（ 1 ）形容词＋连系动词＋主语

Present at the meeting were Mr Li， Mr Wang and many other teachers.

出席会议的有李老师、王老师和其他很多老师。

（ 2 ）过去分词＋连系动词＋主语

Gone are the days when we used foreign oil.

我们使用洋油的日子一去不复返了。

（ 3 ）介词短语＋ be ＋主语

Among the goods are books， exercise-books， pens and some other things.

在所有的货物中有书、练习册、钢笔和其他东西。

5. 用于 so， neither ， nor 开头的句子，表示重复前句的部分内容。原句的谓语应与前句的谓语的时态、形式相一致。

例如： He has been to Canada. So have I.

他去过加拿大，我也去过。

You can't speak French. Neither can she.

你不会说法语，她也不会。

6. 为了保持句子平衡，或为了强调表语或状语，或是上下文紧密衔接时。

例如： They arrived at a small village， in front of which was a big river.

他们来到一个小村庄，村庄前面是条大河。

Inside the pyramids are the burial rooms for the kings and queens.

在金字塔里面有埋葬国王和王后的墓室。

II. 部分倒装

1. 用于疑问句。

例如： Do they work in the factory？

他们在这家工厂上班吗？

2. 用于省略的虚拟条件状语从句。

例如： Had I seen him yesterday wouldn't go to his house now.

如果我昨天见到他了，我现在就不去他家了。

3. 用于“形容词（或名词、动词） +as （ though ）”引导的让步状语从句中。例如： Young as he is ，

he knows a lot.

他虽然很年轻，但知道很多。

Try as he would， he might failed again.

他虽然可以试试，可能还会失败。

注意：如果从句的表语是名词，其名词前无形容词时，不用冠词；若有形容词要用冠词。

Child as he was， he had to make a living.

他虽是个孩子，但得糊口。
